COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)—Coach Urban Meyer says he believes Ohio State has sent
a tape to the Big Ten office which appears to show a Michigan State player
gouging at the eyes of Buckeyes defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins.

The short clip appears to show the Spartans’ Jack Allen or a teammate trying
to thrust a gloved hand inside Hankins’ facemask. At the same time, Hankins is
trying to get his fingers inside Allen’s facemask.

Meyer was asked about the video during his weekly news conference on Monday.

Ohio State suspended linebacker Robert Reynolds for one game after it was
determined he tried to choke Wisconsin quarterback Jim Sorgi at the bottom of a
pile during a 17-10 Badgers win on Oct. 11, 2003.
